Hi guys!
Well, here it is in all of it's glory!
I spent 6 months working on this project so I'm really ready to move on to the next.
Hope you like.
As always, I am open to all thoughts and criticisms.
Let 'em rip!

Thanks everyone!
I appreciate all of your kind comments!
Since I posted this build, I have made one small modification.
A member of another board suggested that the radiator cap could use some refinement, and I had to agree with him.
Sometimes things seem to look okay until someone points them out and then they become the first thing that draws your eye.
Luckily, it was just a radiator cap and was fairly easy to remove and modify.
I believe it looks better now.

You mentioned not being able to install the air cleaners. What is the obstacle preventing that from taking place?

The hood is installed in such a way that it is not removable.
It will only open as far as pictured creating a little bit of clearance issue.
I have installed them since the model was finished, but it took a tweezers and a magnifier to accomplish.

What a masterpiece of a model. I think someday your cars will be in the national Model car museum.
